The Advocate
The Advocate has been serving the students and staff at Mt. Hood Community College, and other interested readers, for over 50 years. The weekly newspaper is produced entirely by students with the student staff numbering between 15-30 students each year. The Advocate is the independent student voice of Mt. Hood Community College. The Student Finance Council, through its annual budgeting process, provides partial funding of The Advocate, with the remainder of the operating revenue generated through advertising sales.
The Advocate strives to involve all segments of the college community in a fair and balanced presentation of MHCC, and works toward the goal of being informative, timely, lively, relevant, compelling and thought-provoking. Whether your interest is in writing, photography, or designing the Advocate could be the perfect fit for you. Quarterly tuition waivers, Work Study and Student Aide pay are provided for qualified members of the publications staff.

Perceptions Literary Magazine
Mt. Hood Community College's magazine of the arts has appeared every year since 1969. The magazine is edited, designed, and published by students at Mt. Hood Community College. Each issue runs 200+ pages and includes photography, visual art, poetry, nonfiction, fiction, short films, and music from local, national, and international contributors. While annual issues are usually printed at the end of May, this year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will be publishing the magazine in an online format in the first week of June.
